Baccalaureate Nursing

Nursing is a challenging career that incorporates theory, complex technology and caring. Baccalaureate nursing graduates provide research/theory based nursing care to healthy and ill individuals, families and communities in a variety of health care settings including clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and outpatient facilities.

The Winning Combination UT / BGSU
As a consortium nursing program, The University of Toledo (UT) and Bowling Green State University (BGSU) make the Baccalaureate Nursing Program innovative and unique. This is a chance to combine the best of both worlds - the excitement of college life coupled with the challenge of a clinical setting and a stimulating health science center. Students choose the university that best meets their needs.

Undergraduate students who enter nursing programs at UT or BGSU take general education university and nursing program requirements, then complete nursing courses on the UT Health Science Campus. The Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing is awarded by the respective university.

Accreditation and Approval
The College of Nursing is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and has full approval of the Ohio Board of Nursing.

The UT College of Nursing offers the junior and senior years of a baccalaureate nursing program, a master's degree, and post-master's certificates in certain specialty areas.

Students who seek the baccalaureate in nursing (BSN) may do so in two ways:

1. High school graduates (including individuals with a GED and prior college work) may enroll at The University of Toledo (UT) or Bowling Green State University (BGSU) with a minimum 3.0 cumulative high school GPA and 19 ACT score, take classes for the first two years on UT's main campus and complete the nursing curriculum at UT's Health Science Campus. These students usually have the advantage of enjoying a full college experience by living on or off-campus and participating in all collegiate activities. Transfer credit is evaluated at UT or BGSU.
2. A registered nurse with an associate degree or hospital diploma nursing program has a license to practice nursing. This RN contacts the UT Recruiter or the Nursing Academic Advisor at UT or BGSU to establish transfer credit and to plan a curriculum. Minimum GPA required of RN is 2.5 or higher. After the student completes prerequisites and courses required by the university, she/he immediately begins the nursing sequence completely on-line.
